James Verlin Kimsey

West Point, 1962

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Christopher J Kimsey on February 18, 2022:

My memories of "Jim" go back to AOL, Prodigy, and the Arpanet. I always remembered him as the man that brought the KJV to the internet. He made computing accessible to the home & Church offices across America, not to mention school children all around the Country.

When I studied our genealogical work, his sister Ms. Sullivan provided me with online research that substantiated our Kimsey heritages on both East & West Coasts. Combining his personal archives with that of Mrs. Dempsey, of Athens, GA proved conclusively our Baltimore, Md & Radnorshire connections are extended to those of MacKim(MacShim) of Anjou & Kempsey.

The loss of him here is Heaven's gain. God bless you: Mr. Kimsey, Sir.
